Fifteen went in and nine came out. The fifteen was a large crowd of cats that needed herding: Dottie and Bob, Chris, Jacquie, Jean, Johnny Mac, Lee, Lidia, Liz, Margaret, Mike, Nick, Roger, Stephanie and Glen. Six of those found other ways and times to leave Joe Brown and the nine didn’t see them as

Four birders met on a cloudy, cool morning in the Ladner Harbour Park parking lot – Jack, Roger, Jonathan and Lorraine. We were serenaded by throngs of Robins and Song Sparrows. After about a ten minute wait to see if any other Nats appeared, we set off. Our first stop was the bird feeders in

Nine birders met at Campbell Valley Regional Park on a beautiful morning mercifully cooler than the last few days had been—John, Jacquie, Lee, Deems, Jonathan, Lorraine, Bob, Dottie and Lorna.

Ten birders met at Joe Brown Park in Surrey on a lovely spring morning – Jacquie, Lidia, Dottie, Jonathan, Lindly, Lorraine, Terry, John, Lorna, Jim. All the new foliage made it difficult to see the birds. We heard some species that we did not see – including Pacific-slope Flycatcher and Black-throated Gray Warbler. nThe highlight

DNCB Outing No. 2023-18B to Queen Elizabeth Park, May 3, 2023
18 eyeballs and 18 ears (of various degrees of acuity) did their best to find the birds hiding in Queen Elizabeth Park on this warm sunny day – but it was a challenge. It was probably half-and-half between eyeballs and ears with some help for the latter from Merlin. Those doing the searching were Brian

DNCB Outing No. 2022-29A to Joe Brown Park, July 19, 2022
An excellent outing to Joe Brown Park. The biggest challenge was parking – we took over all the space along the side of 125A Street right to the bottom of the hill. There were 16 of us with almost no carpooling – Ken and Anne were back! and Jean too! plus Angela, Ontario Brian, Gabriele,

DNCB Outing No. 2022-18B to Joe Brown Park, May 4, 2022
The seasonal weather continued its epic sulk over much of the Fraser River Delta as nine birders arrived at the lushly-forested Joe Brown Park in Surrey. They were Marion, Gabriele, Rosemary (mother dearest), Margaretha, Mike—who had brought along Sean (a birding enthusiast) who had only just arrived from the UK—and, finally, Colin and Stephanie, who

Eleven DNCBers met at Queen Elizabeth Park in Vancouver – Kirsten, Jacquie, Lee, Dottie, Bob, Lidia, Mike, Lorna, Lori, Bryan D and Terry. The previous evening forecast was for morning showers, so we were pleasantly surprised to have a dry but chilly morning. Most of us took advantage of the free parking below the tennis
